Kinetic energy = 0.5 × mass × speed^2

Ek = 0.5 × 0.50 × 5^2

Ek = 6.25J

A 0.37-kg object connected to a light spring with a force constant of 23.2 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface.

Answer:

a) v = 31.67 cm / s , b)   v = -29.36 cm / s , c) v= 29.36 cm/s, d) x = 3.46 cm

Explanation:

The angular velocity in a simple harmonic movement is

       w = √ K / m

       w = √ 23.2 / 0.37

       w = 7,918 rad / s

a) the expression against the movement is

        x = A cos (wt + Ф)

Speed ​​is

        v = dx / dt = - A w sin (wt + Ф)

 The maximum speed occurs for cos = ± 1

        v = A w

        v = 4.0 7,918

        v = 31.67 cm / s

b) as the object is released from rest

        0 = -A w sin (0+ Фi)

        sin Ф = 0

         Ф = 0

The equation is

        x = 4.0 cos (7,918 t)

        v = -4.0 7,918 sin (7,918 t)

        v = - 31.67 sin (7.918t)

     

Let's look for the time for a displacement of x = 1.5 cm, remember that the angles must be in radians

          7,918 t = cos⁻¹ 1.5 / 4.0

          t = 1,186 / 7,918

          t = 0.1498 s

We look for speed

         v = -31.67 sin (7,918 0.1498)

         v = -29.36 cm / s

c) if the object passes the equilibrium equilibrium position again at this point the velocity has the same module, but the opposite sign

         v = 29.36 cm / s

d) let's look for the time for the condition v = v_max / 2

         31.67 / 2 = 31.67 sin ( 7,918 t)

          7.918t = sin⁻¹ 0.5

         t = 0.5236 / 7.918

         t = 0.06613

With this time let's look for displacement

         x = 4.0 cos (7,918 0.06613)

        x = 3.46 cm

What type of tide occurs on a full moon or a new moon?
DIA [1.3K]
Spring tides will occur during a full moon and an new moon. The sun and moon are on a certain angle causing these tides to be neap tides, they aren't high tide nor are they low tides so you would verbalize they are in between and that is why it is called neap tides as well.
